Thanks!

694 a person for Riviera

730 Imperial
736 excaliber
736 stratosphere
758 harrah's
767 Treasure Island
770 luxor
803 MGM
859 mirage
884 ballys
So for two of us hotels for the 5 nights are between 70-440 more for package over flight. It seems like an excellent deal for the first few as I can't see getting hotels for 15-40 a night
Thanks for feedback.
Riveria, Circus Circus and Stratosphere are pretty far from the action so I don't think you'd want to stay there. Remember that Excalibur, Treasure Island, Luxor, MGM, and Mirage all charge daily resorts fees so if you didn't include that in your calculations the true cost is much higher.

Our hotel of preference is HARRAH'S great central location, decent rooms, not too big and good value.
Cons are the casino is smoky and the rooms are a bit dated.
Bonus points for having an in-house Starbucks by the elevators (for first thing in the afternoon)

Remember to price flight + hotel as a package on expedia, and also flight + hotel separately with promo codes on the hotel to see which is cheaper. You'd be surprised how many times booking separately is cheaper.

This is true. I found travelocity.ca has best air ticket price. and Expedia.ca has best hotel price, at least for Trump. Just wondering would people book hotel that's refundable? Price is $88(non refundable) vs $103(refundable) for 4 nights.

If your dates are certain or you booked flight, just book the non-refundable one. Or like i mentioned, try priceline. If its $88 for non-refundable, go on priceline, bid 5 star north end condo or whatever the region is called now, and bid starting $60, then go up $2 at a time or something. I think u have 5 or 6 free rebid zones a day.

Hooray,
Heads up as someone posted but cost of flights for July at least have dropped below $500 from a couple of days ago depending on what times you want to fly.
Any chance it will drop below this? I'm looking at July 18-23 or 19-24 now.
Edit..
Cheapest flights are now showing at about $550 this morning

I'm searching from Feb 23 to 26th, Prices are high - $650 or something like that. Planning to route it through Los Angeles, which is slightly less.
Can anyone alert me if there is a good one way price from Toronto to los Angeles and Vegas to back toronto?
Thanks in advance

Me and 7 other guys are going to Vegas for my bachelor party in June (Yes, I know, how original) Anyways, we are thinking of leaving from Bellingham as it would be more cheaper than Vancouver, but I got a couple of questions:
1) Is it okay to book a flight/hotel, but not check in to the hotel? We already reserved our rooms, but sometimes booking a flight/hotel together is cheaper than just a flight.
2) Cheapest from Bellingham right now is $280 round trip/person. Is it too soon to book?
As for the bachelor party, I know my friends should be planning it, but I want to make sure I have a good time and I love to plan, so do you guys have any ideas about clubs? I've been to Vegas twice before, but never went to any of the clubs. I heard lines could be up to 3 hours wait. Anyone have any tips for me? Also, has anyone heard of the V Card? Is it useful? Any help would be appreciated.

1) It's fine, I've done it before with no problems.
2) $280/person sounds very expensive from Bellingham, i try to go for sub $200 deals. What dates are you planning on? Its probably too early anyways.
For clubs, if it's a buncha dudes, don't expect to get into any of the good clubs without bottle service, unless you're talking about a strip club.

bottle service is essential for a stag. hit up marquee and xs but be prepared to spend 2k each night.

Vegas is usually pretty expensive booking close to your departure date. It's also long weekend here so that certainly doesn't help.
